A former Michigan football player is now a former Michigan football staffer as well.

Last week, Grand Valley State announced the hiring of Roy Roundtree as the school’s new wide receivers coach. Roundtree spent the past two seasons as a graduate assistant for the Michigan football program.

Roundtree also played for Michigan football, spending 2009-12 as a Wolverine wide receiver.

“We are excited to have Roy join our football program,” said GVSU head coach Matt Mitchell in a statement. “He brings instant credibility to the wide receiver room because he produced on the field at the highest level and he has also coached it on the field at the highest level. Roy has a great personality and I feel he will have an instant connection with that position group.”

Prior to U-M, Roundtree spent the 2017 season as the wide receivers coach at Indiana State, 2016 as the wide receiver coach at Limestone and 2015 at Colorado State-Pueblo.

“I can’t wait to get started and I look forward to the opportunity when I can begin working with our wide receiver unit in person,” said Roundtree. “I have been able to watch them on video, but because of the situation we are currently in due to the Coronavirus, I will have to wait to meet with them as a position group.”

OSU Football All time winningest decades

B10 losses by year
2000: OSU 3 scUM 2
2001: OSU 3 scUM 2
2002: OSU 0 scUM 2
2003: OSU 2 scUM 1
2004: OSU 4 scUM 1
2005: OSU 1 scUM 3
2006: OSU 0 scUM 1
2007: OSU 1 scUM 2

Both have an identical 50-14 record so far this decade. 29% of our loss total came in 1 year, 2004.

I'm pretty confident we will seperate from them the next 2 years. BTW #3 is Iowa with 26 losses so we are in pretty good shape to win the decade.

And then another 10

A thump post: What are you currently drinking post!

Weekend quarantine cocktail of choice tonight is a Toronto. Two ounces of rye, 1/4 ounce of Fernet-Branca, 1/4 ounce of simple syrup, two dashes of Angostura bitters. Bold, spicy, bitter, and a little sweet.

Going to try that tonight, but with Mexican Fernet I have on hand. Thanks for the recipe.

PSA: This one's boss as fuck.

Javon Ringer (Former RB Michigan St.)

Login to view embedded media
My answer is an answer I’ve had for years — running back Javon Ringer out of Dayton Chamiade-Julienne. Ringer was a 3-star tailback in the 2005 class and was very nearly a Buckeye, but knee and grade issues apparently made him too much of a gamble. If you ever saw his highlights from back then, it was clear he was good enough to play at Ohio State.

Of course, if you were to watch his highlights today, they would probably be too grainy for you to actually see them.

Instead of OSU, Ringer ended up at Michigan State where he rushed for over 4,300 yards in his career.

Ringer would have paired well with Antonio Pittman in 2005 and then trio’ed well with Pittman and freshman Beanie Wells. Then after the 2006 season, he and Wells would have formed a very formidable duo. He would have also been able to step up for Wells when he went down in 2008, provided he was healthy at the time himself, of course.

NCAA Recruiting Rules Changes

NCAA allows schools to reimburse players for unofficial and official visits canceled due to coronavirus

The NCAA continues to open up their rulebook in order to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

In an announcement made Friday evening, the organization issued a number of waivers to schools regarding expenses for student-athletes. The most notable of these includes allowing programs to reimburse recruits for expenses related to canceled official and unofficial visits.

Schools pick up the tab for official visits already but if there’s something like an extra family member coming along, seems like that can get reimbursed now. Unofficial visits are paid entirely by the players and their families themselves.

It remains to be seen how this reimbursement will work. Given the number of visits that take place during the coming weeks for spring football practice, it could add up to some sizable checks being cut either way.

“The NCAA Division I Council and its Coordination Committee recognize that the decisions they make must be grounded in the values of higher education and must reflect the realities of the challenges facing higher education. This is certainly magnified during this unprecedented period resulting from COVID-19,” said Grace Calhoun, chair of the Division I Council. “To that end, as an example, the Coordination Committee, acting on behalf of the Council, took timely action to address health and safety concerns among student-athletes, prospective student-athletes and coaches. The Coordination Committee identified other issues that lend themselves to full Council review and decision-making.”

While it doesn’t specifically apply to football, a vote on eligibility relief for spring/winter sports athletes will be held on March 30.

The NCAA has already halted all person-to-person recruiting until April 15. This has resulted in a dead period across all sports, including football.

The fact this is such a big headline only underscores that most people expect the NCAA to pull a dick move whenever possible.
